Export IPA error on Xcode 7 in El Capitan

Since Xcode 7 and El Capitan I can't export an archive into an IPA file. When I finish the flow Export... > Save for Ad Hoc Deployment > Export (button) it displays the following error: Coulnd't find any platforms at all in /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms

enter image description here

EDIT:

This would be the relevant part of the logs

In IDEDistribution.standard.log

{
  code = 2109;
  description = "couldn't find any platforms at all in /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms";
  info =             {
  };
  level = ERROR;
}

In IDEDistribution.critical.log

EDIT 2:

Listing Platforms directory:

$ ls -l /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms

Solution

  • deselect "Export from bitcode" checkbox in dialog when exporting IPA. If checked it means that you want to test a build created from bitcode. See more details here
